'1 MORE NAIL IN
COFFIN OF GLOBAL-WARMING DECEPTION', Climate 'experts' wrong again! Weather extremes predate
fossil-fuel economy, by Greg Corombos, 4/9/16, WND
A new, exhaustive study
on precipitation levels over more than 1,000 years shows the assumptions
made by the United Nations and other climate-change activists are badly flawed,
suggesting human activity may not be having the impact on global climate that
so many insist it’s having.
The
report from
Stockholm University in Sweden examined Northern Hemisphere rainfall statistics
over a 1,200-year period. Researchers concluded that extremes between heavy
rainfall totals and droughts were more severe centuries ago, before the fossil
fuel-based economy ever existed.
“Hopefully, this will be
one more nail in the coffin of the great deception that is the global-warming
deception,” said Dr. Tim Ball, a former climatologist at the University of
Winnipeg who taught classes on global precipitation for some 25 years.
Ball is also the author
of multiple books, including “The
Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science.” He told WND and Radio America this report comes as no
shock to him. In fact, he
wrote about the very same issue just five months ago. Ball said the problem amounts in part
to willful ignorance on the part of climate-change proponents.
“They list three major
greenhouse gases: water vapor, CO2 and methane,” he said. “They then ignore
water vapor. They just say the amount humans produce is of no significance, so
they just assume it’s constant. That’s a problem.”
He continued, “The second
problem is there is inadequate temperature data to build their computer models.
The weather data covers only about 25 percent of the world’s surface. How do
you build your models on that? The answer is you don’t.”
He said reality has
proven the experts wrong at every turn.
“Every single prediction
they’ve made with temperature, starting in 1990, has been wrong,” Ball said.
“Everyone has been wrong. One simple word definition of science is prediction.
If you can’t predict, you haven’t got science.”
Listen
to the WND/Radio America interview with Tim Ball:
But as lacking as the
data is on temperature levels, Ball said the scientists are even further behind
on precipitation.
“The data for
precipitation is even worse,” he said.
“Measuring rainfall and measuring
the water content of snow are some of the most difficult things to do in the
weather and climate business.”
Ball said a perfect
example of the weak precipitation data could be seen five years ago when
scientists tried to predict the impact of monsoons on Africa during the
growing season. Half the models predicted a wetter season, and the other half
concluded it would be drier.
“Their conclusion was
that there weren’t enough precipitation data stations to even meet the minimum
requirement of the World Meteorological Association,” he said. “So the lack of
data is the serious problem that supports what these people (in Stockholm) are
finding.”
According to Ball, this
new study also puts the lie to the climate-change premise that temperature is
the most important factor when examining where the climate is trending.
“Temperature variation
is an issue, but it has to change quite a bit before it comes difficult,” Ball
said. “For example, they talk about a two-degree Celsius warming. All you’ve
got to do is look at a city that’s just south of you that’s two degrees warmer,
and they get along very nicely, thank you.”
He said precipitation is
far more important. “But when you get precipitation change, that impacts flora
and fauna and humans tremendously,” he explained. Ball said 200 climatologists
were surveyed in the year 2000 to select the 20 worst natural disasters in the
20th century. Of those 20, scientists picked 11 droughts and five floods. “So
the knowledge of precipitation and its impact is actually more important,” he
said.
Ball said the Stockholm
report also erodes the credibility of climate-change scientists on another
front, namely their contention that rising global temperatures lead to more and
more severe droughts. “They said with global warming, there’ll be more
droughts, but that’s counter-intuitive. If you’ve got warmer temperatures,
you’ve got more evaporation, more water in the air, therefore fewer droughts,”
he said. “Again that illustrates how wrong their thinking is.”
Scientists who believe
in human-triggered climate change admit the Stockholm study will intensify the
existing debate.
“Do their results
invalidate current predictive models? Certainly not. But they do highlight a
big challenge for climate modelers, and present major research opportunities
both for modelers and climate scientists,” wrote Matthew Kirby of California
State University’s Department of Geological Sciences in
response to the study.
Another researcher,
James Renwick of the Victoria University of Wellington, stated the new data
suggests the wet-dry extremes will come this century instead of the last one.
That leaves Ball shaking
his head. “They will look for some way around the evidence. They’ll say this is
wrong, that’s wrong and so on,” Ball said.
“They’ve done that every
time. They had a hypothesis, and they accepted it as proven right from the
start. Every time evidence came out that contradicted it, they found ways of
blunting that.”
He said the most
egregious example was after 1998, when temperatures began leveling off but
carbon dioxide levels kept rising, in contrast to the belief that the two
factors were linked.
“Instead of correcting
their science, they changed from global warming to climate change,” Ball said.
“This is what they constantly do. They try to blunt the evidence and deflect
the evidence because it’s not fitting with their political agenda.”
It’s also apparently not
fitting with their financial agenda. Ball contends so many scientists
swear by man-caused climate change simply to keep the research dollars pouring
in.
“These people, I
guarantee you we’ll find out, are very heavily funded by government in this
research,” Ball said. “Of course, if you look at Paris and how much money was
put into the Green Climate Fund. It’s all driven by money, not by science and
the truth.” He said this was proven by the Australian government in recent
years.
“What the Australian
government said was, ‘You’re telling us the science is settled. Well fine.
We’ll cut off all the funding to the research.’ Of course everybody scrambled,
‘Oh, no no no. Hold on a minute here,'” Ball said.

We need
to quit the UN in retaliation for the global warming hoax and the $trillions
this scam has cost. Western governments
are bankrupt because of this scam and the leaders of these governments need to
be replaced and their leaders indicted for malfeasance and treason.
